George RR Martin has rebuffed the rumour that he has secretly finished the
final two books in his Song of Ice and Fire series, after a Game of Thrones
actor made the claimlast month.
喬治RR馬丁公開怒斥最近盛傳他已經完成最後兩本小說的流言
Speculation began spreading online after actor Ian McElhinney, who played Ser
Barristan Selmy in the HBO adaptation, made the claim on 29 April at a fan
convention in Russia. “George has already written books six and seven … but
he struck an agreement with David and Dan, the showrunners, that he would not
publish the final two books until the series has completed,” he told the
audience at EPIC Con 2019.
流言起於Ser Barristan的演員Ian McElhinney在4/29的一個俄羅斯粉絲聚會中宣稱
喬治已經寫完第六本跟第七本小說，但礙於他跟D&D有協議，因此無法公布此訊息
，更無法出版這兩本小說。
The fifth novel in Martin’s bestselling series, A Dance with Dragons, was
published in 2011.
喬治RR馬丁的第五本小說 與龍共舞在2011年出版
But writing on his website on Monday, Martin said McElhinney’s claim was not
true. “No, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring are not finished. Dream
is not even begun; I am not going to start writing volume seven until I finish
volume six,” wrote the author.
作者在他自己的網站上說Ian McElhinney的訊息是錯誤的，"寒冬凜風跟春曉的夢想
並沒有完成。春曉的夢想根本還沒開始動筆，在寫完第六本前我是不會寫第七本的"
“It seems absurd to me that I need to state this … Why would I sit for years
on completed novels? Why would my publishers – not just here in the US, but
all around the world – ever consent to this? They make millions and millions
of dollars every time a new Ice & Fire book comes out, as do I. Delaying makes
no sense.”
我自己要出來聲明這件事情本身就很荒謬了，為啥明明我寫完小說還要枯等大半年?
怎麼可能全世界的出版社會同意這等荒謬的事情，每次我出一本新書，這些出版社就可以
賺進大把大把的鈔票，延期這件事根本不合邏輯。
HBO did not ask him to delay the books, the author added, nor did the show’s
co-creators, David Benioff and DB Weiss. “There is no ‘deal’ to hold back
on
the books. I assure you, HBO and David & Dan would both have been thrilled and
delighted if The Winds of Winter had been delivered and published four or five
years ago,” he wrote. “And NO ONE would have been more delighted than me.”
作者補充，HBO並沒有要求他延後出書，D&D也沒有跟他有所謂的延後協議，如果寒冬凜風
在四五年前能夠完工，最高興的人莫過於D&D了，但倘若這件事發生，沒人會比我更高興
。
Martin also took the opportunity to double down on his claim that Gandalf
would “kick Dumbledore’s ass”, after making the assertion at the premiere of the
new JRR Tolkien biopic last week.
喬治RR馬丁也趁機再次強調他的"甘道夫屌打鄧不利多"的論點
此爭論起源於上周的JRR托爾金傳記電影首映會
“Gandalf COULD kick Dumbledore’s ass. I mean, duh. He’s a Maia, folks. Next
best thing to a demigod,” wrote Martin, diving deep into Silmarillion levels
of Tolkien knowledge with his “maia” reference. According to the Tolkien
Gateway: “The Maiar (singular Maia) were those spirits which descended to
Ardato help the Valar shape the World.”
馬丁說"甘道夫可以殺爆鄧不利多，我的意思是，拜託，他是邁雅欸，快跟半神差不多了"
根據Tolkien Gateway網站的紀錄，邁雅來到阿爾達幫助維拉建造這世界。
Martin wrote: “Gandalf dies and come back. Dumbledore dies and stays dead.
But if it will calm down all the Potterites out there, let me say that Gandalf
could kick Melisandre’s ass, too.”
馬丁說"甘道夫死而復生，鄧不利多死了就真的死了，但為了讓眾多哈粉們安慰一點，
我會說甘道夫也會殺爆紅袍女的喔"
